ImageMagick has a Stack Overflow in DestroyXMLTree()
Magick frees the memory of the XML tree via the DestroyXMLTree function; however, this process is executed recursively with no depth limit imposed. When magick processes an XML file with deeply nested structures, it will exhaust the stack memory, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.
